About the Journal
Founded in 2025, AI & Antiquity: Journal of Teaching and Technology in Ancient Studies (ISSN 3081-4553) provides a peer-reviewed, open-access forum dedicated to the study of Antiquity through innovative, inclusive, and pedagogically focused approaches.
The journal brings together history, archaeology, philology, and related disciplines with digital humanities, artificial intelligence, and educational research. Its primary aim is to place teaching and learning at the centre of scholarly discussion while maintaining rigorous academic standards.
From 2026 onwards, AI & Antiquity is published biannually (February and September). All articles are double-blind peer-reviewed and published without submission fees or article processing charges (APCs).
Current Issue
The inaugural issue of AI & Antiquity: Journal of Teaching and Technology in Ancient Studies launches the journal’s mission to explore the intersections of artificial intelligence, inclusive pedagogy, and ancient studies. This foundational volume gathers the proceedings of the First International Conference on Innovation and Technology in Ancient History Education, held online in May 2025 and hosted by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
The contributions reflect a broad range of perspectives, from digital epigraphy and ancient language learning to inclusive teaching, rhetorical practice, and the representation of gender and diversity in antiquity. Together, they highlight both the challenges and the opportunities posed by the rapid spread of generative AI in higher education, showing how ancient studies can play a leading role in rethinking teaching for the 21st century.
We also acknowledge with gratitude the work of peer reviewers, the members of the advisory and editorial boards, and the participating institutions, whose support has made this inaugural volume possible. This issue marks the beginning of a scholarly space dedicated to fostering critical dialogue, pedagogical innovation, and inclusive practices across the global community of ancient world studies.
